Before we dig in Stourbridge
The highway authority for local roads in Stourbridge is Dudley Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Warehouse impact bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Dudley Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Warehouse floors vary from thick reinforced slabs to thin toppings over older concrete, and some contain underfloor heating, ducting or wire-guidance systems for automated trucks that must not be cut. Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
How the job runs
Check the slab
Slab thickness, joints, cracks and any underfloor services or heating are checked, and anchors are chosen for the floor rather than taken from a standard list.
Plan around operations
Work is phased by aisle or zone, or done out of hours, with each area barriered off while drilling. Dust is controlled with extraction where products are stored nearby.
Fix, torque and mark
Bollards and guards are fixed and torqued, then any associated floor markings are applied so drivers can see protected zones.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Steel bollards | Yellow-coated steel tube on a base plate, often concrete-filled. Robust and economical, but they pass impact loads straight into the slab. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Stourbridge

Keeping them working
Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact. Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss.
If posts in Stourbridge are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
